  Slug - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Slugs are gastropods without shells or with very small shells, in contrast with snails from which they evolved, which have a prominent shell.
Other slugs are found on land, but their soft, slimy bodies are prone to desiccation, so they are confined to moist environments.
Slugs produce two types of mucus: one which is thin and watery, and another which is thick and sticky.

 Red Slug - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Red Slug (Arion rufus; also known as the Chocolate Arion or the European red slug) is a large slug, characterised by its usually red or brown body and lack of a keel.
Perhaps the Red Slug's most distinguishable feature is the placement of its respiratory pore just before the mid-point of its mantle.
Like all slugs, the Red Slug moves relatively slow because they only have one muscular foot, which is mostly red with stripes.

John was so unhappy with the final quality of the 1995 Cabernet Sauvignon that he “declassified” it to Slug Gulch Red, slapped a tacky sticker over the label, and sold it all for $6.00 per bottle.) Then the el niño year of 1998 hit, and more than enough uncertain wine appeared.
As people started to take note of the “good red wine with the funny name,” the winery began to speak of it, tongue-in-cheek, more and more in terms of its “mediocrity.” They advertised it as “the best mediocre red wine in California,” and decided it was time to designate the different versions.

 California Diving News: CA Marine Life - Sponge & Slug
This red on red would seem to be a classic protective camouflage scenario, and there is no question that the mollusks are well disguised and can crawl about in the open with impunity on their spongey abode.
The reason seems to be that they eat the red sponges and then incorporate the pigments into their own bodies.

 Re: How did scientists first determine the slime mould amoebae's lifecycle?
Once the slug has stopped migrating, the cells at the anterior tip form a tubular stalk which extends downward through the slug.
The resulting chimeric slug did not seem to mind that it had been manipulated in this way--it went on to form a fruiting body as it normally would.
However, scientists observed that the stalk of the fruiting body was stained red, indicating that is was derived mainly from cells in the anterior region of the slug.
